Started in February 2017, Delphi’s North American steering and suspension product line is growing. It will include a line of import and domestic vehicle parts; control arms, sway bar links, tie rods, ball joints, and bushings, along with steering kits.
Delphi will offer new part numbers every 60 days during the next 14 months. Steering applications will include Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Acura, Honda, Lexus, Toyota, among others, covering more than 241m vehicles manufactured from 1968 through 2016.
“The US and Canada are important distribution channels for the continued growth of our steering and suspension line of products,” said Delphi Aftermarket president, Alex Ashmore.
“The customers who currently recognise us as the most preferred fuel brand in the aftermarket will soon know and trust our same quality and service for all our steering and suspension products in North America.”
Delphi steering parts are manufactured with robot welding to fit on every vehicle and are engineered to meet OE specifications.
Tested under extreme conditions (-40°F to over 248°F, exposed to 720 hours of salt spray), they are built for performance with a special coating which helps prevent corrosion.
Delphi offers field training and support, along with tools for diagnosing, replacing, and buying steering and suspension parts.
The company recently launched a new steering and suspension and fuel management app which is now downloadable on delphiautoparts.com as well as the Apple Store and Google Play.
The steering portion of the app features control arm position name decoder, bad suspension system checklists, how-to videos, diagrams, diagnosis and repair tips as well as 360-degree views of Delphi parts.
